Proving Her Authority.

He was q tall, lanky young fellow,
with watery blue eyes, faded hair. and
a mustache which looked like a streak
of red paint. From head to foot he
was attired in store clothes, and but
for very pronounced expression of
anxiety on his face he might have pass
ed for jolly young farmer seeing the
city. In his arms were half dozen
bundles, and beside him stood pretty
young woman, who wore over a silk
dress plush cloak of fashionable make
and Cleveland hat The color on
her cheeks was suggestive cf long ac-
quaintance with country air. 1t was
as plain as whitewashed fence that
they had but recently been married
They stood on the corner of Clark and
Madison streets and watched the cars
go by for a few moments, and then he
said, with a little cough Of Importance:
"Well, Sarey. reckon we'll git on
one of these cars and ride over tew the
depot. It's bout time we was goin'. :"
Mercy, Steven. how you talk
There amt no use of ridin' when we
eau just walk over to the dapo"
Now, Sarey, I'm s'prised at you
opposin' what | want to do. I'm your
husband, amt I?' sputtered the young
man.
"And I'm your lawfully welded
wife" replied the bride, with great
asperity; "but we might jest as well
have it out right here. 1t amt speck
more n five squares to the dapo, and
that amt no further than it is from our
house to the pump in the meader, an
you've got to walk that every mornin
and night, sure's you're a foot high.
You can't take no street car for that
pump an you can't save 10 cents no
quicker an no better way than jest
a-trotting over to thai dapo with me.
You can argue or trot, jest which you
choose, but | amt goin' to get into

To Prevent Bedsores.

When a person is obliged to lie con-
stantly in one position as is the case
with broken leg, the pressure COM
ing constantly on the same place bed
sores must be guarded against. The
lower part of the back is most fire.
quently attacked The nurse should
pass her hand under it at least twice a
day to see that the draw sheet is free
from wrinkles and creases. Morning
and night she must bathe it with a
small sponge dipped in alcohol, or a
solution of tannic acid and when it is
dry rub it with corn starch or buck
wheat flour. 1t may seem impossible
to her to get her hand underneath, but
most beds will yield little to pressure
and by working in roll of old linen
under the back above the place to be
bathed, she will obtain little space
to work in. If in spite of precautions
the back becomes sore an air cushion
with hole in the middle must be used
to prevent the sore from coming in
contact with any surface, or it cannot
heal. - Elisabeth Robinson ScoUl IN

A Lawyers Ruse Exposed.

John K. Grimes was in his day one
OF the most distinguished LAWYERS in
New Orleans. Though not as learned
as some Of his associates at the bar, he
possessed qualities of mind which rem
dered him a formidable antagonist.
bis personal appearance was much in
his favor, and the gravity of his man.
ner and his perfect self-possession con-
trlbuted great deal toward his stand
ing as an advocate. His chief charac-
teristic was audacity, which never fail
ed him in any emergency. He was
also lawyer Of very fertile resources.
and II engaged in arguing a very weak
case, he was not above resorting to
trick or artifice TO accomplish his pur-
pose, which the following anecdote will
illustrate:
In case of appeal before the Su-
preme court he pretended to quote
from time to time from certain author
tiles, and was for while permitted to
do so without interruption, the bar be-
ing accustomed to such breaches Of
professional propriety on his part. But
on this occasion recently appointed
Judge was on the bench, and when Mr.
Grimes spoke of particular law, he
asked where it could be found. The
old judges present smiled when they
heard the question, for they were
familiar with the ruses practised by
Mr.. Grimes, but that gentleman, not
at all disconnected, responded that he
thought it was in Story, giving vol
ume, page, etc.
The imperturbable lawyer proceeded
with his appeal, and in the interim a
copy of Story was procured by the
doubling judge, who was soon in earn
est search of the authority in question.
Failing, of course, to find it, he took
advantage of the first pause in the
speech of Mr.. Grimes to tell that gen
tleman he had been unable to meet
with the law quoted. Whereupon Mr..
Grimes exclaimed:
is that so, your honor? Have /
made SO great a mistaken
You have indeed" said the Judge.
"Neither | nor my associates have
ever heard of law like il"
well, may it please the Court" re-
marked Mr.. Grimes, very coolly, ''if
there is no such law in the books,
there ought 10 be! for it would be found
ed alike in equity and common-sense,
which do not always govern the rul-
ings of our courts Of Justice
And he concluded his argument as if
nothing unusual had occurred. The
sarcasm with which he sought to cover
up his exposure was not lost on those
to whom it was addressed, but the in
cident which elected it was related to
his detriment for many years after
war,i.-E0itOr'S DraCer, in Hrper'S $

A Beggar Worth $4,000.

A few days since a very poorly
dressed woman named Catherine DonO-
van went to the city hospital and said
that she needed treatment. She was
examined and it was found that she
was suffering from bad scalp wound.
She refused to tell how it was received
and would not tell where she lived
The wound was dressed, and as the
woman claimed to be too poor to pur-
chase medicine, some was given her
She asked to be allowed to remain
over night, and the request was grant
ed.
She was searched by the nurse and a
most astonishing discovery was made
In the pocket of her ragged dress were
found several bank-books representing
about 81 100 in cash in various banks
in this city. Hidden away in the lining
of her dress and in other places were
found about $500 in money and 81 900
in bonds. She was highly indignant
when searched and said that they had
no business to treat her in such a
manner. She was so incensed that she
refused to remain at the hospital anv
longer. An attempt was made to find
out where she lived, but she was dumb
to al questions.
She was asked if someone attempted
to get the property away from her by
force, thus inficting the scalp wound,
but she refused to give any answer
She claimed that the hospital authori-
ties had no right to ask any questions
of her, and that what property she had
belonged to herself, and that she came
honestly by it. The officers at the hos
pital attempted to detain her, but she
insisted upon going. 1t was after 10
o'clock Al night when the woman left.
The hospital authorities had an idea
that it was an attempted robbery, but
as the woman refused to give any in
formation at all this of course was
mere suppositjon.-Nc10 York Mail and

at the bottom of the CRATES, which are
filled above with something to receive
and hold the heat In rooms where
the open CRATE, burning the soft btu
minous coal, has always been used a
pleasing variety in the arrangement of
gas-fres is found. Some people do
away with the CRATE altogether, and
supplant it with clever imitation in
cast-iron Of the old-time backlog. But
the commonly accepted plan is to re-
tain the CRATE, filling it generally with
coarsely broken friedrich, which,
when heated, looks much like anthra-
cite coal. Foundry-slag, properly ar
ranged, presents perfect representa-
ton of soft-coal fire, and is, there
fore, more beautiful and desirable
Others resort to the novel plan of fill
ing their CRATES with porcelain door
knobs, for which purpose they are
bought by the pe1 or bushel! The
quantity of gas burned is regulated by
d valve at each fireplace; and the ease
with which gas-fire is made, regu-
lated, and put out, coupled with its
freedom from smoke, dust. and ashes,
has warmed the heart Of womalkind
toward it with a very great affection.
